Am I the only one that searches STG with city or town names? The new format has basically rendered that useless if your town search is for any of the 46 towns that STG has micro-dissected the state.

I think that STG charges advertisers per ad per location. Basically forcing them to place ads in the smaller towns that really do not need exist as a separate market. (Do we need West Haven if we have New Haven and Milford, just one example.).

Now an ad will show every market that it is posted in, helpful if a provider doens't post the exact town, you can see what towns are targeted by the ad, If the targets are far and wide, then maybe that provider is nowhere near your area and would get less interest. But if the markets are all concentrated in say the Hartford area, that would tell you more valuable info as to location.

The down side of showing all the locations being posted is that every WORD search for a specific town now gets every ad that was placed in that town, basically defeating the purpose of searching by town name, which is to weed out posters that post in an area from another area. Hopefully the geniuses at STG will figure that out and exclude the "also-posted" towns from a word search. Has anyone else been hampered by this new format?

Agreed, it's a pain. When I was visiting the west coast, one provider specifically spelled out that STG allows her to post up to 5 locations. She figures that she can get travelers to come to her that way. The only upside that I've seen is when looking at an ad from a poster that doesn't have a specific location, you can see where they're posting at and guess where they're located. E. g. They offer incall / outcall without a specific location, but then they're posting in Hartford, Bristol, Waterbury, and you can guess they're located somewhere north.

Agreed, it seems you cannot search by any terms, so I assume that when I was searching by adding a town name in the word search box, it was just doing nothing. I hope you are right, and that they just need to fix the search and that will come back. About a month ago BP, Bedpage changed there format for the worse, after a few days it was changed again, fixing many of the issues.

I think it has to be some sort of glitch. Either way it sucks because I used to go into the path above the links to select "female escorts' to auto filter out all the trannies. Now you're basically stuck with them in your searching.

I do the town search too. I do not think how their search function works right now is intentional, it is broken, try searching with random inputs that are not even words and you will still get results. If they fix their search it could work fine with the new format depending on how they do it, wait and see.

I share your pain, I search by city all the time and then have to filter what I get.

My standard search is to check "All" locations and then search keyword "Danbury" for example.

I think the additional structure could be helpful. The problem is abuse by the providers.

As soon as they offer outcall, the number of cities gets inflated.

The ads check multiple posting cities and they also list multiple city locations, and some will throw in an abbreviation like "Wtby".

Does anyone use this site? Nobody ever seems to post reviews with links to the site. Am I falling for the illusion by assuming the provers are higher priced but highe rquality and more reliable than STG? Also, providers don't post any prices. Any tips aside from just texting everyone for rates? Is haggling expected / entertained?

The one tip I can give you, is that there are a couple of girls on that post on Eros and stg and sometimes put higher rates on Eros. So check both. Also if you want to see Lucy or Vlada when she is in town (used to use olitas) do it, you shouldn't be disappointed.

From the CT Post -public info.

Bridgeport woman accused of running Stamford prostitution operation faces new charge, police say.

Malina faces a new charge in connection with an alleged prostitution operation that police say was run out of a Stamford hotel.

STAMFORD The alleged "mastermind" behind a Stamford sex trafficking operation is facing a new charge after she told police she threw evidence off a Connecticut bridge to thwart an investigation, a warrant says. Malina, 20, was arrested on a new charge of tampering with evidence that police say stems from an admission she made during an interrogation with police. Malina, who was already facing charges of trafficking in persons, first-degree promoting prostitution and second-degree promoting prostitution, was served the new arrest warrant following a recent court appearance.

Police wrote in the warrant that the Bridgeport resident admitted to throwing an iMac computer that was believed to have incriminating evidence on it and "threw it out the window over the Groton bridge. ".

"Anything deleted why'all can't find that (expletive)," she told police during the interview, according to the warrant.

Police said in the warrant that Malina also gave a cellphone with potentially incriminating evidence to a drug dealer.

Malina was arrested last year, several months after her alleged accomplices, were charged with running a local sex trafficking operation. The arrest came after Malina called police and confessed to being the "mastermind" behind the operation.

Stamford police wrote in an arrest warrant that Malina called a local detective on Sept. 8.

Malina, who initially pretended to be a victim in the case against L, eventually came clean about her identity on the call before telling the officer that she had been the one behind the alleged sex trafficking operation that L had been accused of orchestrating, the warrant said.

She told police that if they were willing to release L on bond, she would provide investigators more information on herself and "bigger fish" involved in the operation, the officer said in the warrant.

"I am the mastermind behind this," Malina texted police, according to the warrant. "I have madams from cartel out in New York, I have a pimp out in Jersey I buy the girls from, I have the recruiting messages from all the woman attempted and got to escort for me. I'm a female nobody would ever think to look at me behind an operation bigger than you can imagine. ".

Malina later shared with police several incriminating screenshots that allegedly showed text messages of her recruiting woman into prostitution, while others showed her orchestrating meetings between prostitutes and people looking to solicit prostitutes, according to the warrant.

One of the victims in the case against L later confirmed Malina's involvement in the sex trafficking operation, saying that Malina served in many different roles for the operation, the warrant said. She often would recruit women to work as prostitutes, buy drugs to provide the women, post ads for the service online and would work as a pimp, too, according to the warrant.

Other times, Malina would work as a prostitute herself, according to the warrant.

"According to (the victim), Malina was an extension of S," the officer wrote in the warrant.

Malina, who was being held in lieu of $500,000 bail, is next scheduled to appear in court April 25.

L, who is also still in custody, is scheduled to appear in court April 30.

My real concern aren't so much genuine providers, but fake posts by organized criminals.

I recently heard a report from a reliable news source where drug cartels have been moving towards online and phone / text scamming as safer and more profitable than running drugs. Some even have legitimate looking call centers staffed by people who think they're doing legal work. In the online scamming world, it can be part of the game for different but related entities to collect bits and pieces of info on a mark before moving in for the score.

Even basic deposit scammers may not be some kid in his mom's basement, but an organized, possibly even foreign government or terrorist group sponsored operation.

That's scary. The original ad was on skip, but after our text exchange I then found her ad on tryst and wondered if I blew off something good. Reading this makes it definitely a 'better safe than sorry' situation. Thanks!

There are "blacklist" sites used by providers. I've had this confirmed by at least three old school providers. While they didn't have any personal identifiable info, they did have my phone number and physical description. There's a good chance your pic will end up there if you share it.

I have no issue with the intent, it's a dangerous business. But of course there have been numerous cases of outing and blackmail.

I was recently asked to be verified by sending a pic of myself or using Facetime / google duo. I didn't want to take any chances, so decided not to see the girl. Anyone ever verify? What are the risks?

[Gonzo456]

I've never done it due to concerns of blackmail threats using my photo and other info from the device I use to contact the person.

I would see this as a very personal choice. I also don't put providers in my car, have them come to my home, or pay with anything but cash, but that's just me.

Ok, just want to make sure that I'm not overly anal about not sharing a pic or even live video. Although in the past, I've done the other things you mentioned, I no longer do them because of similar reasons.
